Microsoft’s new Zune will have quite an impressive list of features. First of all, for anyone thinking it’ll have HD video, this can be misleading. It is HD radio with an option of HD video OUTPUT. It will be running Windows CE underneath. On the surface, it will have an OLED touch screen interface with a 16:9 widescreen format on a 3.3 inch screen. Aside from this, it will have built-in full screen internet browser with accelerometer and a touch screen QWERTY keyboard.
Everything so far has gotten the iPod Touch beat with the exception of iTunes. This is where Apple’s true value lies. You pay for the device once but iTunes will keep making them money as long as there are things to see, hear, and play with on there.
After viewing the specs and the buzz, I can only think of this as a product that is competing with yesterday’s iPod Touch. I’m sure down the road they will announce a phone to futher compete with something that is already out now from Apple. It’s good to see competition in this area but I think Microsoft has a long road ahead to catch up.
As a recommendation in case anyone from Microsoft is reading this post *self-delusional*; add a microphone, external speakers, and bluetooth to the mix and I think anyone would love to carry this instead of their current PDA / Music Player.
